Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:54:30 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=691056#comment-266243Indiana has an offensive rating of 92.7 points per 100 possessions in its last five games, which ranks 27th in the NBA in that span.

And, yet, PBT–and ESPN and others–put them number one in the week’s power rankings (probably because nobody wanted to send Golden State a whole five places). They’re my team and all, but these offensive woes–while they fluctuate–are not going away. I hope they can get all the rotations flowing much better come May.

Their elite defense effectively masks their pedestrian offense in terms of point differential, but also makes it look a little more productive when it feeds their confidence–a confidence which one can not count on the way one can sheer elite-level skill.
